Volvo-forums have more info of what actually goes bad inside those actuators. As far as I remember, someone popped the black plastic covers and somewhere in there they replaced a resistor with just a strip of copper wire and that cured the problem. This resistor was designed to prevent the motor from overloading and burning up, shutting it of or smth.@$60 a pop, is not that bad but the question on how long before they start acting up remains uncertain.
2001 Volvo V70 : My FOB was damaged and haven't replaced so only have the key. Since I have owned it, the rear passenger doors never worked with Central Locking (by key or master switch) but the tailgate and front doors did. Now just this week, neither key nor master switch (button) will lock/unlock the front doors or tailgate. What could be up?
Hi Volvo guy! My 2008 Volvo's push button remote door opener wouldn't open my door (even with the key from inside the remote), so I put in a new battery & it then worked, but same problem next day! I now leave it unlocked all the time but I'm told it may be due to cold weather that is unusual here in southern Alabama...possible?
Thanks Andrew, I don't know why my door locks don't work I don't use a fob but after having my car fall off the pass. side door jack, My doors don't unlock all together ,I have to lock them individually, when cold morning they may all work in sync, but only once, what's wrong? Thanks Andy.
My wife’s 2013 Volvo S60 driver side door unlocked while she was driving. The door will not latch closed. All other doors work. I thought a few good slams might fix it, but I was wrong. I don’t feel comfortable with me and DIY project, but want to know if you have any experience with this condition so when I go to either the dealership or my local Volvo mechanic I have some knowledge. Thank you
jus bought a used 2000 v70 and front passenger door wont lock, either with remote or drivers side door lock button, funny thing is lets say I use the remote to lock the car completely, the alarm is then active and although the front passenger door can still be opened, when u do open it the alarm still goes off

+DeathByVanity Similar to what happened in my 2008!
That is hapenning to me on my 99' C70 ahah i'm still trying to figure out what it is!
This is my volvo v70...it also won't lock manually moving the pin. Did you ever figure this out? I'm hoping to Diy before paying for repair
would this be the same case for a 2000 v70
Thanks for the info
How do I know which one is bad????????
Please help provide a video that show how to fix / change the lock.
